I personally never disliked Meredith, though I can totally see why others would. For me, she just about always stays on the right side of likable, though there are a few times where I felt really tested by her. I think the only time I ever really disliked her was in the fourth season, when she was so unnecessarily horrible to the new character. (I won't say who it is, but people who have seen the show obviously will know!)
I differ in views on Alex too. For the first few years, I was totally aboard the "journey" you've all discussed, and for a while he was my favourite character. Over the last few seasons though, I've just lost all interest in him. I don't actively dislike him, but he's kind of become deadwood with nowhere to go..
I have just finished watching every episode from the beginning for the first time over the past 2 months or so! I absolutely love it but have got to say, I think Meredith is maybe the most unlikable main character of any show I have ever watched! I find her so selfish and just, annoying!
but aside from that its a great show, roll on season 9!
I had to leave work for a few months for an op and started watching Grey's while recuperating. Caught up to end of S8 by the time I went back.
Fave character initially was Yang but then a certain someone appeared at the end of S3 who captured my heart.
I shall say no more...although Cristina is still amazing!
I think I saw an advert last night for series 3 on Really starting in a couple of weeks but I only caught the very end of it. Can anyone confirm?
Today they showed episode 16 of season 2. So my guess would be that season 3 will start on Thursday 20th September (but that's just counting on my fingers :D). Even though I've seen season 2 at least twice before, I'm watching it again and loving it. If anyone else has better fingers, feel free to correct the date.

Hurray!! I loved the first 2 seasons so was really peed off when they stopped there!!!
I've been having a bit of a Netflix marathon during the summer, and I'm absolutely loving the show. I'm usually very slow when marathoning shows, but with this I'm already midway through season three.
I love Christina. She's my absolute favourite. I loved that moment when Burke got shot and Christina came into the surgery saying she "forgave" Burke for not letting her in the surgery.
I also love Burke, Bailey, Addison, Izzie (the Denny storyline was so sad ), Callie, George, Alex and Sloan. Don't mind Meredith so much, except when she's with Derek (who I can't stand for some reason).
Season two has so far been the best for me, but I've really been enjoying all of it.

Fiver says you change that to season 3 being your fav when you get to the finale! Best finale IMO of the show. But this years came a close second.
This thread reminded of how much I loved the show initially. I've kind of lost interest as the series have gone on as every year someone I liked left and didn't relate to the replacements.

Me too. I got the boxset of 1 -5 but I was drifting a bit by the end of 5. Now I might watch it if there's nothing else on but it's not a 'must see' any more. Which is a shame.
This show defo has dips.
The Denny season and the last 2 seasons stick out in my mind as good. There was a couple of seasons which were lacking, but when its good its good. When its good, its like eating a big bar of chocolate for 40 mins, very indulgent.
I'm half way through season 5 now. What episodes should I look out for?
Without wanting to reveal too much of what happens in the future Season 5's ending and Season 6's opening are great. The Season 6 ending is also good as is the season 8 ending / Season 9 opening (are you noticing a theme going on?).
Mostly the season endings and new seasons opening are great and they tend to be the most dramatic. Also I can't remember if it's Season 5 or 6 but the one where Christina has an argument with Meredith, storms out of the hospital and slips and something happens is a good episode. There's lots of good dramatic episodes if that's what you like.

Love it.
It gets better as it goes on but I am missing some of the older characters now.
Season 6 finale was incredible.
Love it.
I loved George. I liked Izzy. For some reason I never liked Addison. I just took against that woman!
Who do you think looks the most different?
Was gutted at the end of Season 8 and gutted again at the beginning of Season 9, although I did expect the Season 9 beginning.
Still great though and loving all the new characters they have bought in.
